    hi,

    am currently looking into doing a PGCE in the UK for business education. Is a qualification from the UK treated the same as one from here when apply for job? Dont really want to make the move unless it will be viewed the same on an application as a qualification in Ireland

    You will have to do an exam called the history and structure of irish education to have your pgce recognised.

    It will be recognised as a pass pgde.

    Whats more important is that your degree subjects allow you to teach business etc in secondary schools. Look into that with the teaching council.

    know plenty of people who did the pgce and are now working as permanent teachers in schools

    Regardless of how good your PGCE is, it will be recognised as a pass PGDE in Ireland (and therefore you'll get less money each year in your salary)?

    I did my PGCE in the UK and I have a honours PGCE. I just had to provide evidence to the TC that I got 55% or over in my PGCE.
